T0 aZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, JOH SzABo and ANnniis JUDIK, subjects of the King of Hungary, residing at Gary, in thecounty of McDowell and State of West Virginia, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in-lntermittent Operating Means for Churns, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in intermittent operating means for churns.

The primary object of this invention is to provide a motor means for a reciprocating churn actuated by a rocking chair during the usual rocking motion of the chair and whereby the operation of churning may be readily affected while the operator is comfortably seated in the use of the rocking chair.

A further object of the invention is to provide an actuating means for the dasher of a barrel churn including a reciprocatory actuating element operatively attached to one of the rockers of a rocking chair for actuating the dasher simultaneously. with the rocking operation. j j j A still further object of the invention is the provision of a cheap and eflicient motor means for a churn whereby the making of butter may be accomplished by means of,

waste energy, the entire device being readily attached operatively to the rocker of any 1rocloiing chair ordinarily found in a house- 101 With these general objects in view and others that will appear as the nature of the invention is better understood, the same consists in the novel combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings and pointed out in the appended claims.

In the drawings forming a part of this application and in which like designating characters refer to corresponding parts throughout the several views: Figure 1 is a side elevation of the device. Fig. 2 is a top plan view of the device. Fig. 3 shows an enlarged detail sectional View through one of the jo-urnaling brackets.

Referring more in detail to the drawings, a barrel churn 10 is illustrated of substantially the usual form, the same being provided with a cover or lid ll'having a central perforated bushing 12 positioned therethrough and within which the shaft of the dasher is mounted for longitudinal vertical Iivrnnmrrrnnr OPERATING MEANS r03 crinnns.

reciprocation, it being noted that exterior clamps 16 are provided for removably se curing the cover to the churn.

A power shaft 17 istransversely journaled upon thetop of the cover by means of opposite brackets 18 and has a centrally posi tioned disk 19 rigidly secured eccentrically thereon, while a strap 20 is positioned and is vertically slidable through the said brackets, the said rod having its lower end pivotally connected as at 26 with a rocker 27 of a rocking chair and ata pointadjacent'one end of the said rocker. The upper end of the rod- 2 lis provided with a wedgeshaped head 28 which is normally positioned as illustrated in Fig. 2 with its upper fiat face 29 engaging one of the studs 23 adjacent the bottom of the wheel 22 when the pivoted portion of the rocker is in its lowermost position. Upon an actuation of the rocking chair, the pivotal connection of the rocker 27 will move upwardly thus reciprocating the rod 24 in a vertical direction through the brackets 25, thus shifting the rod and the power shaft wheel a partial revolution as illustrated in Fig. 3, it being noted that a limiting pin 30 is provided upon the churn for the actuating rod. I

The brackets 25 are provided with slots 31 therethrough while anti-friction balls 32 are positioned within sockets 33 of the said brackets whereby the rod 24: is anti-frictionally mounted, it being noted that a top closing cap 34 is provided for each of the said brackets. The cover 11 may be readily removed by releasing the member 16 and the power shaft and wheel will be removed therewith, it being noted that the wheel is unattached to the rod head.

From this detailed description of the invention, it will be apparent that the successive up and down movements of the engaging end of the rocking chair will impart reciprooations to the rod 24 thus turning the wheel 22 in a step by step movement and thus revolving the power shaft 17 and all a. of which results in reciprocating the dasher through the agency of the ecoentric disk and strap connections between the dasher dasher while the churn may be readily attached to the rocker of any rocking chair by o means of the pivotal connection 26.

While the form of the invention herein 1 shown and described is what is believed to be'the preferred embodimentthereof, it is nevertheless to be understood that minor changes may be made in the form,*proportion and details of construction without departing-'from =the spirit and scope of the invention asset forth in the appended claims.

' -What is claimed as new is A device of the class described com prising a power shaft, a wheel on one end of the said shaft, outwardly projecting spaced studs upon the said wheel, a reciprocatory flexible rodl positioned adjacent the said wheel and having a stud engaging head having a 'p'athof movement within the plane of the said studs, and: reciprocating means pivotallylattached -to.the free end of the said rod. 1

2. A device of. the class described comprising a power shaft, a wheel on one end of the, said shaft, outwardly projecting v spaced s tuds'uponthe said wheel, a reciprocatory fiexiblerod positioned adjacent the said wheel and having a stud engaging head having a path of movement within the plane of the said studs, spaced anti-friction'bracketsthrough which the; said rod is freely jecting studs upon the said wheel, brac ets upon the said support, a flexible actuating rod slidably journaled through the said brackets and'having a wedge-shaped head at its upper end and in the plane of the said wheel studs, and means for reciprocating said rod. 7 4. A device of the class described, comprising a support, a shaftjournaled on said support, a rod having an eccentric connection with said shaft and reciprocatcd thereby, a wheel upon one end of said shaft, studs positioned on one face of said wheel adjacent the periphery thereof, a resilient rod having a head adapted to engage said studs, and means for reciprocating said rod whereby the head is caused to move the studs in a circular path to impart movement to the journaled shaft. a
